Dear Gerald: I've got the same message error, and I Just Don't know what can I Do about It. I Have a Sony DSC HX20V and works perfectly with my old batteries. If you have some Info, I appreciate that you could share it to me.

you probably have 'clone' battery & not an actual Sony battery--the clone batteries will work OK in the older cameras like the H50 or W150, but NOT in the 'HX" series like the HX5V or HX100V--this message pops up in the newer cameras taking this battery because their power requirements are much higher if it is a cheap 'clone'--you can even take a battery that has gone dead from an "HX" series camera and put it in an "H" series camera and still shoot several frames--this is why I mentioned in my review about being a real Sony battery--I am sure that what you have is a counterfeit battery

I am using this battery as a replcement for the original one. This battery has been great, keeping its charge, unlike the original one. I do not use my camera often so it has been charged only a few times but it has a indicator to help know how much power is remaining. The price I paid, like the others who answered, was a great deal - I would hope to be as successful if I need to purchase one agin in the future.

I have experienced the exact same problem and ended up having to buy a new battery. I would stay away from this battery if I were you. It worked well for about a month and then it wouldn't do anything in my camera. A waste of money for sure

Hello, no I just put this new battery in and it works great!!! I have had really good luck with it and happy I purchased it. Hope you have the same success as I have with this battery.

I also ordered this battery and received the DMW-BCG10 (no PP at the end). I contacted Panasonic via their website before making a fuss about getting the wrong battery. Panasonic told me that the letters at the end refer to the region where the battery was produced, but that the DMW-BCG10 was a compatible battery for the DMC-ZS7 camera. I charged the battery in the charger that came with my camera, and it worked just fine, no message about being incompatible. I just bought my camera at Costco in March, so I assume it has the updated firmware.

I found that your camera according to the Sony site would be a NB-FG1 So the above battery will not work

I finally was able to find an authorized battery through Vann's. Great site, great customer service. Mine was backordered, but it came in a few weeks and has been working fine. It looks exactly like the battery that came with the camera. http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/features/752883080/panasonic-dmw-bcg10?s_c=site_search

I have the same laptop as you. I bought this battery because of the price and pretty good reviews. I DISAGREE. It will NOT stay connected and it died in record time. Total waste of money.

Bring the burned out battery to any electronics store and just let the sales rep know that that one is burnt out and that you want the same battery. The battery on my model is still good.

If you check this battery, NP-BG1, in the Amazon search option - you will find that the battery NP-FG1 is listed as compatible with DSC-W230. NP-BG1 and NP-FG1 are interchangable, one is newer. I have used both batteries with a Sony camera and also found the aftermarket compatible batteries to work.

I have this battery. I love it. This battery has more power and far more duration (hours of use and pictures per charge) than the NP-FH50 Battery that came with the camera. The battery's output is within the acceptable range as stated in HP's specifications. Hope this will help.

I have had no problems with it and works as well as the one that came with the camera. As far as I can tell it is a Canon NB-5L battery pack and looks exactly like the other one.

The battery should be an exact match as the one that came with your camera. Did it come in a black fujifilm box? If it came with a white and green package, then its a knock off. Don't use it. Both my original and the one I ordered on Amazon says 3.6V NOT 3.7V.

I have had this unit quite a long time and have had no problem. The only advice I can give is to be sure you are using identical batteries of the same brand and be sure the cross connection cable is fully seated in the unit and camera.

I am using the info off of the original battery which has the same specs that u have wrote here.....thats all I can tell u and it does work in my gf laptop well......there has been no issues to date.

hmm- good question. I did not pay attention to that. I have been using the battery for a few weeks now and its working fine-holds a longer charge than the default camera battery that comes with camera from Sony.
